Offshore renewable energy : an exploration of techno-economic feasibility and reliability through a computational optimization perspective

Creator:: Clark, Caitlyn E.
Abstract:: Offshore renewable energy (ORE) has the potential to be a significant source of future global electricity production, reduce carbon emissions, decrease dependence on energy importation, and stimulate economic growth in coastal and remote areas. The availability and abundance of ORE, paired with growing coastal population centers, position offshore wind, wave,...

D₊₊ : Structural Credit Assignment in Tightly Coupled Multiagent Domains

Creator:: Rahmattalabi, Aida
Abstract:: Autonomous multiagent teams can be used in complex exploration tasks to both expedite the exploration and improve the efficiency. However, use of multiagent systems presents additional challenges. Specifically, in domains where the agents' actions are tightly coupled, coordinating multiple agents to achieve cooperative behavior at the group level is difficult....

From Functional Modeling to Optimization : Risk and Safety in the Design Process for Large-Scale Systems

Creator:: McIntire, Matthew G.
Abstract:: In order to more effectively design large, complex systems, risk must be accounted for throughout the design process. A systematic way to account for risk is by using system model simulation. During the conceptual design phase, functional models can be drawn to help the engineer design their system's functional architecture....

Modeling a Spectrum of 3D Printed Materials for Soft Robots

Creator:: Hemleben, Samantha
Abstract:: Soft robotics is an emerging field that heavily relies on the ability of 3D printers. The limitations in soft robotics lie in the area of the 3D printers and the predictive models of the printed materials. There are currently no reliable models for optimizing the gradients required to create soft...

Heat transport at interface in the metal-organic-frameworks MOF-5

Creator:: Huang, Wenxi
Abstract:: The metal-organic–framework MOF-5 is used as an adsorbent in advanced systems for vehicular hydrogen storage that are currently under development. Presently, these systems are limited by poor thermal conductivity of the adsorption bed, and thus our research addresses how the interfaces between grains of MOF-5 can be engineered to improve...

A comparison of single runs versus multistart for simulated annealing and threshold accepting

Creator:: Crews, Matthew
Abstract:: Simulated Annealing and Threshold Accepting are two stochastic search algorithms that have been successfully used on a variety of complex and difficult problem sets. Due to their stochastic nature they are not guaranteed to produce the same result for each run. This means that these techniques actually produce a distribution...

Determination of Mass Flow Rate through Plain Mesh Wick and Nano- Structured Mesh Wick for the Design of Thermal Compressor Systems

Creator:: Uwaoma, Ifeanyi A.
Abstract:: Wicking action refers to the movement of a liquid through a porous or a structured surface via capillary action. This phenomenon is affected by surface geometry, such as the wick thickness and pore size of the wick, as well as fluid properties, such as viscosity and surface tension of the...

Mining Temporal Patterns for Prediction: A Mixed-Integer Programming Approach

Creator:: Mansourifard, Farzaneh
Abstract:: In the past two decades, the advancement in data collection and storage have led to the accumulation of complex datasets. Consequently, various industries have sought data-driven solutions to predict and detect anomalies. Temporal patterns have emerged as potential features in prediction models that could improve the performance of the identification...

Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

Creator:: Magee, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...

Initial Designs for Improving Conversations for People Using Speech Synthesizers

Creator:: Nguyen, Duy M.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to determine the impact that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have on social interactions, and then improves the AAC user experience through a user focus design process. AAC devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and make...
